Missing factory configurationI used this motherboard for a small nas configuration - 5 sata drives. The feature set is ideal: 6 sata connectors, ipmi for lights out management, internal USB connector for flash drive, multiple Ethernet that can be bonded and can also share the ipmi management interface on a single cable, upto 32gb memory in two sticks. There is a m.2 connector but I haven't yet found a compatible 2230 drive on the market - other mitx boards place the m.2 on the rear side allowing for full length.
I'm giving this board a lower score because the ipmi was not factory configured - after several weeks talking to asrock support, they supplied their factory tool and now everything is working, including remote KVM. Which at least demonstrates their support will talk to a consumer end user.
